The Ottawa Senators stunned the New Jersey Devils with a late 2-1 win, with Erik Condra showing that he's a great prospect by netting two goals. The soft-spoken player from Binghampton has described himself as not being a star, but one of those players who does a lot of the little things well. And what he does do well, is take advantages of opportunities on the ice, taking the opposition by sur...

Ilya Kovalchuk is certainly earning his keep these days. Kovalchuk's 23rd goal of the season came with 24.9 seconds left in overtime to propel the Devils past the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1. Kovalchuk's game-winner was his second in a row, and ninth of the season. With the win, the Devils now sit nine points behind eighth-place Carolina.
The first period ended without either team finding t...

The way the New Jersey Devils have been playing over the past few games doesn't look like a team that occupies the cellar of the NHL standings. The Devils have taken seven out of eight possible points in their last four contests, grabbing points 28 and 29 with a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders in a Monday matinee.
Lately the Devils have been using an offensive barrage, tallying 18 ...

After playing in so many games where the Devils have been the victims of unlucky bounces of the puck, it is about time that they were the beneficiaries of some good fortune. Behind 33 saves from Martin Brodeur in his return to the starting lineup and two goals from David Clarkson, the New Jersey Devils defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-3 at the Prudential Center on Sunday evening.
Bad bounce...

First and foremost, I wish everyone a happy 2011!
After ending the 2010 year with a modest 3-1 defeat over the Atlanta Thrashers, a year during which the Devils went 30-42-9, they stumbled hard into 2011, getting crushed by the Carolina Hurricanes 6-3. Going into tonight's game (1/4/2011) against the Minnesota Wild, there have been a number of intriguing events that transpired, which could have...

The start was different for sure, but the result was just more of the same.
Although the Devils scored the first goal for the first time in what seems like an eternity, they were unable to hold the lead against the rival New York Rangers as they fell to the Blueshirts 3-1. The game was a spirited contest, as one would imagine whenever these two teams meet, and the outcome could have gone in...

Thirty games later, nothing's changed for the New Jersey Devils. They remain in a tight race…for last overall in the league, but are first…in least goals scored and goals against. Oddly enough, the Devils went 4-6-0 in the past ten games, two of which they won 2-1 and had to be decided in a shootout. Compared to how they've fared at the ten game mark (2-7-1) and twenty game mark (3-...

Martin Brodeur returned to the crease for the New Jersey Devils last night, but his presence was not enough to lift the Devils out of their most recent funk as they fell to the Ottawa Senators 3-2. Brodeur was decent in his first game back from the elbow injury that kept him sidelined for eight games. He made 26 saves, but you could tell that Brodeur was not happy with the outcome of the ga...

The finger of blame is going around like the Plague in the New Jersey Devil's locker room. You really can't focus it on anyone in particular because it seems every player and coach is at the same uninspired and discouraged level with almost a quarter the season having passed. That said, one's level of inspiration differs from a player's attributions to the current situation. Since January, Mart...

A second period outburst against the Nashville Predators dramatically ended the Toronto Maple Leafs eight game losing skid and lifted the weight of the world off of their shoulders. The win on Tuesday looked out of the question as the Predators attacked the Leafs for 3 first period goals, all but collapsing their confidence. A late first period goal from Luke Schenn seemed to lift spirits and s...

October 31 marks one of the most fun days of the year – Halloween. While the kids are out trick or treating, NHL players are having their own Halloween parties. It’s their chance to take a break from the serious life of a hockey player, bond with their teammates, coaches and managers in a social setting and ultimately it is an opportunity for these guys to show their creative side.
Here ar...

I posted this earlier today but I was told there are errors when the page gets called up..
Back on North American soil for almost a week, the Bruins had a light week of practice to get their bodies reaclimated to the Easter Time Zone. So what happens when a relatively fresh team goes up against a team playing it's third game in four nights? Add in the fact the Devils couldn't field ...
